The following excerpt is from TOMLINSON. v. County of ALAMEDA., A125471, No. RG08396845 (Cal. App. 2010):
" 'Judicial review of these two types of error differs significantly: [w]hile we determine de novo whether the agency has employed the correct procedures, "scrupulously enforc[ing] all legislatively mandated CEQA requirements" [citation], we accord greater deference to the agency's substantive factual conclusions.' [Citation.]" (Save Tara v. City of West Hollywood (2008) 45 Cal.4th 116, 131.)
